IPTV on LG Smart TV: setup guide for webOS TVs

LG Smart TVs run webOS, LG’s own system, so IPTV players are installed from the LG Content Store, called Apps on newer models. You do not need an extra box: once the app is set up, ISLEMAX runs directly on your TV with the LG Magic Remote.

Before you start

• An active ISLEMAX plan or a free trial.
• Your login details from our team: an Xtream Codes login (username, password and server URL) or an M3U link, depending on the app.
• A stable connection: 10 Mbps for HD and FHD, 25 Mbps or more for 4K.
• Your TV connected to the internet, signed in to an LG account and up to date. Depending on the model, updates are under Settings > Support > Software Update or Settings > General > About This TV.

Step 1: install an IPTV player from the LG Content Store

1. Press the Home button and open Apps (LG Content Store on older models).
2. Select the search icon and type the name of the IPTV player we recommend.
3. Choose Install and then Launch. The app is added to your home screen bar.

As on other smart TVs, IPTV players for LG are made by independent developers. Some are free, others have a trial followed by a one-time activation fee paid to the developer. We tell you which one to choose for your model.

Step 2: connect the app to ISLEMAX

Login inside the app (Xtream Codes)

1. Open the app and choose the Xtream Codes or login option.
2. Enter the username, password and server URL exactly as we sent them. The Magic Remote’s pointer makes typing on the on-screen keyboard much faster.
3. Confirm and wait for your channels, films, series and TV guide to load.

Activation with the MAC address or device key

1. Open the app and note the MAC address and device key shown on screen.
2. Send them to our team, or enter them on the app developer’s website with the playlist link we provide.
3. Restart the app on the TV to load your channels.

Get the best picture on an LG TV

• Connect the TV with an Ethernet cable when possible, or use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band.
• Pick the Standard or Cinema picture mode for natural colours.
• Install webOS updates as soon as they are offered.
• If the picture stutters during sport, close other apps running in the background before you start watching.

Troubleshooting

• The app is missing from the store: availability depends on your model and country. Send us your model number and we will suggest another player.
• The app behaves strangely after an update: an LG TV switched off with the remote often stays in standby. Unplug it for 30 seconds to restart it fully.
• Channels stopped loading: check that your plan is active and that the MAC address in the app has not changed, then reopen the app.
• Buffering: restart the router, test your speed and switch to a cable connection if the Wi-Fi is weak.
